Much of the land surround the climbing in this area is private. Obey the rules so that we continue to use these incrdible areas. MORE INFO >>>
The Idarado Mine owns large portions of land, including the access road, that they have been kind enough to maintain partially and allow the public to use. Its not the most ideal situation for us, but we have to respect the wishes of the land owners and take what we can get.
Description
A great group of climbs just east of Bridal Veil Falls. Some of the best views of the valley that can be had in Telluride. Accessible in mid-spring to fall time, the road is closed in that winter, but climbing here then wouldn't be ideal anyways. It can snow in any month of the year, so be careful and have a quick excape plan always. Not a lot of action in terms of climbing, but the road can be practically overrun by tourist in the festival season.
Getting There
Follow 145 through Telluride and out the east end of town. The road will turn to dirt about 1.5 miles outside of toen at the Idarado Mine. Follow the dirst road switchbacking for about 2 miles. A highclearance vehicle is ideal. Park two stichbacks above the bottom of the falls in a small, but prominent turn out. Cross the large stream on the bridge leading away from the falls and follow the trail along the cliff face to the climbs. If you can not drive the road, park at the bottom of the road and hike to the turnout and crag.
